Enjoyed by all with Thanksgiving dinner. Probably coming down from peak but very balanced and drinkable. Good color, restrained nose, nice fruit but fading. Decent finish.

Decent earth, cherry, and oak nose leads to delicate, lightly acidic, but complex palate that needs food to reach its peak. Drying out it seems. Translucent rose in the glass

Acidic to a fault for expensive Chianti. Some cherry fruit but also an abundance of leather. Herbaceous. Nose is more delicate but seems to have occasional puffs of vinegar.

much touted and enjoyed at Mi Piaci in December, this time the wine was very closed. The color is light for a fine wine, though this is common with Chianti I suspect. Its aging potential is in question, but with air the wine opens slightly to reveal fruit

A tremendous bottle of wine. Decanted. Perfectly balanced, fruit was still alive. The cork was in perfect condition.

Tile red. Developed nose with earthy tones, plum and sour cherry. Still crisp but clearly on the plateau.

ORANGE ON THE EDGE. BLACK CHERRY AND LICORICE IN THE NOSE. FLAVOR LIKE THE NOSE, NICE CHERRY FRUIT AND LICORICE. MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH.
